Dennis* INTRODUCTION Paul wanted to live with either his mother or his girlfriend in his old neighborhood, but his supervision officer told him he could not live in the neighborhood because that is where he would get in trouble. Instead, Paul lived in a three-quarter rooming house, hoping his mom or girlfriend would soon move so he could live with one of them.1 James wanted to visit his daughter who lived out of state, but his supervision officer would not authorize the travel.2 Alex was arrested on a parole-violation warrant while at the hospital with his girlfriend awaiting the birth of their child.3 Chuck worried that when he visited with his daughter at a court- supervised daycare, police would arrest him in front of his daughter for a warrant violation.4 The stories of Paul, James, Alex, and Chuck—all of whom were being supervised in the community as part of a criminal case—reveal the extent to which the criminal justice system can interfere with family life and family autonomy.5 Their stories, though, are but a small sample of what individuals and families under criminal justice control experience.

Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date Abstract Commodore Matthew Perry was impactful for the United States Navy and the expansion of America's diplomacy around the world. He played a vital role in negotiating the 1854 Treaty of Kanagawa, which established trade between the United States and Japan, and helped reform the United States Navy. The new changes he implemented, like schooling and officer ranks, are still used in modern America. Nevertheless, the memory of Commodore Matthew Perry has faded from the American public over the decades since his death. He is not taught in American schools, hardly written about, and barely remembered by the American people. The goal of this paper is to find out what has caused Matthew Perry to disappear from America's public memory.
